Arsenal are attempting to roll back the years in a bid to break their eight-year trophy duck, by unveiling an old school-style yellow and blue new away kit for next season.

To launch the new shirt, which replaces a purple and navy stripy number from last season, saw Arsenal’s young British players in attendance alongside supporters, as a giant stadium banner featuring the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere was revealed on the side of Emirates Stadium.

The kit, which the Gunners will wear on the road this season and for the first time on the forthcoming Asia Tour, aims to fuse the club’s tradition with a contemporary style.

Using the traditional Arsenal away colours of yellow and blue, the design is sure to appeal to a new generation of fans, as well as tug on the heart (and purse) strings of the old.

Walcott said: ‘The kit looks and feels great. I’m really pleased it’s yellow and blue – the club’s enjoyed lots of success in these colours and so many legendary players have worn them.’
